In conjunction with the Third Annual National Road Yard Sale, the last weekend in May, the Licking County Bicentennial Commission is sponsored a National Road (U.S. 40) Rolling Cruise.
According to Doug Smith, of the Licking County Bicentennial Commission, the rolling cruise on the historic National Road was Saturday, May 31st. It began in Gratiot in eastern Licking County. It was a free event and some two-dozen participants with vintage and/or antique vehicle were on hand.
The half mile line-up, on the old section of Route 40 (Main Street) in Gratiot began the rolling cruise at 10:00am with an escort from Licking County Sheriff Randy Thorp. The parade of vehicles traveled some 15-miles to Hebron where a midday stop took place at the Arrowhead Plaza (Kroger Store) just east of State Route 79 on the south side of the National Road.
The ‘Rolling Cruise’ was enjoyed by the thousands of participants in the National Road Yard sale, in Licking County that morning.
2008 was the Third Annual National Road Yard Sale. This five-day event, from May 28th to June 1st, was featured along the entire 824-miles length of the National Road, including the section here in Licking County.
